KUALA LUMPUR – Bersatu is only intact because of the anti-hopping law, Umno Supreme Council Member Datuk Puad Zarkashi has told the Perikatan Nasional (PN) component party.
Addressing remarks by Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan, Puad said the former was wrong in saying that PN was a “principled” party.
“The anti-party hopping law saved PN. Without the law, many PN MPs will be jumping parties.
“Not to mention the fact that many PN MPs are also formerly party hoppers. PN should thank Barisan Nasional (BN). The anti-hopping law was passed and enacted under a BN prime minister,” Puad said in a Facebook post.
In July, the anti-hopping law was passed by more than a two-thirds majority in the Dewan Rakyat and was gazetted and enforced on federal lawmakers prior to the 15th general election on November 19. – The Vibes, December 1, 2022
